OK so I read The Progress of Sherlock Holmes on the AO3 awhile ago and liked it very much and also thought to myself, 'This would make a really great podfic! If only it wasn't a kazillion words long, someone might attempt it.' And now I find that not only has someone attempted it, it has been successfully completed! I listened to the first part ("Anchorite") and just about cried, because (1) I am a sap like that; (2) omg this fic, so many feelings; and (3) your podfic version (from what I've heard so far) is SO GOOD. The music! The neat trick of putting different characters' dialogue on different, um, sides! (There's technical language for that, but damned if I know what it is.) Your reading style! I love how you do their voices--enough so that they're recognizably John and Sherlock, but not in any exaggerated way--and how Sherlock's thought-voice is different from his speaking voice (underscoring the dichotomy between his thoughts and actions/spoken words). Srsly, I'm so happy that you've done this, & look forward to listening to all the rest of it. :D ♥ ♥
